[[multi-retry]]
= Multiple Listeners, Same Topic(s)

Starting with version 3.0, it is now possible to configure multiple listeners on the same topic(s).
In order to do this, you must use custom topic naming to isolate the retry topics from each other.
This is best shown with an example:

[source, java]
----
@RetryableTopic(...
        retryTopicSuffix = "-listener1", dltTopicSuffix = "-listener1-dlt",
        topicSuffixingStrategy = TopicSuffixingStrategy.SUFFIX_WITH_INDEX_VALUE)
@KafkaListener(id = "listener1", groupId = "group1", topics = TWO_LISTENERS_TOPIC, ...)
void listen1(String message, @Header(KafkaHeaders.RECEIVED_TOPIC) String receivedTopic) {
    ...
}

@RetryableTopic(...
        retryTopicSuffix = "-listener2", dltTopicSuffix = "-listener2-dlt",
        topicSuffixingStrategy = TopicSuffixingStrategy.SUFFIX_WITH_INDEX_VALUE)
@KafkaListener(id = "listener2", groupId = "group2", topics = TWO_LISTENERS_TOPIC, ...)
void listen2(String message, @Header(KafkaHeaders.RECEIVED_TOPIC) String receivedTopic) {
    ...
}
----

The `topicSuffixingStrategy` is optional.
The framework will configure and use a separate set of retry topics for each listener.
